Tell us about a boat

Tell us one thing about the boat, in a minute — no handover journal to fill in. In a marina this gets told out loud and leaves with the crew; here it stays with the boat.

No account needed. To let others see the entry, we'll ask you to confirm an email at the end.
why so
Otherwise anyone could write into the shared journal, as much as they liked. A confirmed address is the only thing separating one person's account from a flood.
1Which boat
Bavaria Cruiser 46 · hull number DE-BAV46C2020
Hull number — optional, but it is what makes this precise
The number is optional: if you don't remember it, name the company.
why so
Without a number, several identical boats at one base merge into a single history. With it your entry finds your own boat — even if she was later sold on.
Marina or region
Charter company — needed, since no hull number was given
2What you found
You can tell us about several things at once.
why so
A jamming windlass and an out-of-survey liferaft are different findings. The next crew looks for them separately: one cares about the anchor, another about safety gear.
Finding 1
Choose what kind of finding it is.
Write about the boat, not about people: the names of the base's staff have no place here. Blocks you leave empty simply won't be saved — they won't stop the rest being sent.
3When you saw thisoptional
«In June this year» and «at some point» are worth different amounts, and the next crew should see the difference.
One thing left: tell us about at least one finding.
This is an entry about a boat, not a claim against a company. If a base withheld your deposit or hid a fault, that's a report and it takes a different path: the company is named, it replies, and the decision can be appealed.
